Abstract

Some of the mechanical and optical properties of tissue in an aging baboon model were measured. Intrinsic, compressive, and mechanical properties were correlated to small angle laser light scatter characteristics. A correlation was found between the tissue's small angle light scattering characteristics and some of its compressive mechanical properties. The results of the study suggest that the laser scatter angle properties and the intrinsic, compressive, mechanical properties of non-pathologic or non-traumatic articular cartilage may not change as a function of aging but only as a function of maturation.
